Who has a Defibrillator?
My cardiologist is thinking I may need one. How has it affected your life and travel? I will probably be traveling alone. Would that make a difference?

Yesterday at the VA, I had four tests and five appointments and it turned out to be one long day. Preliminary results looked good to the point that I was given authorization to drive again. Today, I received the news that all but one test was reported with good results. I should get the other results NLT Monday.
From what she has determined is that the light headedness that I experienced had triggered the defibrillator jolt. It was caused by hypoglycemia which I have a couple of times a year. By the first examination it was determined that the defibrillator emergency response level was actually set lower than that of the pacemaker side. It has now been reset to allow the pacemaker to kick in each time before the other reacts. She mentioned that an altered diet will keep my protein level better controlled which would likely control the light headed events.
